The downtown Dayton Basil’s opened in July on the ground floor of a retail and office building on North Patterson Boulevard at East Monument Avenue, overlooking the Great Miami River. It’s part of the Water Street mixed-use development along the river. The 4,800-square-foot restaurant seats 150 to 160 inside, and another 120 or so on a 2,200-square-foot patio overlooking the river and its fountains.

Basil’s on Market operates a restaurant-pub in Troy that opened in 2014. Basil’s co-founder and executive chef Todd Uhlir served as executive chef at the Troy Country Club for nine years prior to launching the Troy restaurant
